Hollywood doesn’t want you to know this but if we invented dinosaurs and they turned on us I actually don’t think it would be very hard to kill all of them.
One regiment of the Oregon national guard or whatever could kill a million dinosaurs with minimal loss of life.
There are anti-aircraft rifles that can take down, uh, aircrafts. Those rifles would kill the T Rex.
Dinosaurs don’t even have opposable thumbs.
The president does not need congressional authorization to kill all the dinosaurs. Congress can hold as many hearings as it wants but unless they pass a law protecting the dinosaurs, the dinos die.
By the time this gets to the Supreme Court the case will be moot because every dinosaur will have a bullet in its skull.
You wouldn’t even the need the government to kill them because the second we got a push alert about these dinosaurs going rogue millions of people would get in their cars to go shoot the dinosaurs themselves.
First we let the Houthis knock us around, now we’re quaking in fear over some dumbass dinosaurs? What’s next? Hiding under our beds because of Estonia? Or geese? America owns the moon, ok? We own it. We are strong and god-like.
Decline is a choice.

I’m sorry to say but a lot of the liberal media simply can not credibly answer the question “where is the line between acceptable protest and unacceptable lawlessness” after 2020, during which they totaled stanned all these psychotic anarchists who took over entire neighborhoods
One of the reasons not to do what they did in 2020 is because inevitably there would be other instances of protest and refusing to call out the obvious bad ones just means that now I don’t trust any of you on this particular question.
“CHAZ is just a street party! People playing hackysack and singing songs of peace.”

*three weeks later*

“Huh looks like there were actually lots of rapes and shootings there”

this tweet is going to piss everyone off but as someone who has found Biden’s recent criticisms of Israel’s overreach compelling, I genuinely think that if the left had simply not been quite so deranged from the start, they could have convinced people like me to agree with them
obviously we never would have agreed 100% but Biden built up credibility and I now take his concerns about overreach seriously. I do not think Joe Biden is a lunatic.

The left’s criticisms I could not take seriously because they called Israel murderers midafternoon on 10/7
If the pentagon thinks that the IDF is not targeting bombs well enough, I take that seriously, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT THEY ARENT ANTICOLONIALISM NUTS WHO WANT ISRAEL TO DISAPPEAR REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DO

I’d be interested to read an article explaining exactly how Kissinger became such a uniquely unpopular person on the internet. I understand all the bad things he did 50 years ago but I’ve never really understood why young people online give a shit.
Some of it has to do with the fact that he just lived so long and, unlike a Nixon who resigned in disgrace, Kissinger won a Nobel Peace Prize and dated movie stars.

But is that it? Or is there a more concrete example like a viral dril tweet from 2011?
I first encountered it about a decade ago when a friend wanted to talk about how terrible Kissinger was for an hour and I was like “look, buddy, I don’t need any convincing but I also just have never thought about him this much in my entire life”

Everyone is such a sad sack. Jesus Christ. Everything is fine. We live in a time of plenty.

There are a couple of issues that we got to deal with but they’re relatively minor.
“No one has ever suffered as we have suffered” is just especially annoying in this context because actually virtually everyone who ever lived in all of history suffered more than we have suffered.
Just imagine living in the past. Just imagine it. Seriously take the time to imagine it. Awful! The most disgusting nightmare I can imagine lol.

Has anyone written a good piece about how the left seems to be using the word “genocide” to mean “civilians who died in war while looking the same”?
Every single TikTok keeps calling Gaza a genocide and it just is obviously not a genocide. When did everyone decide that the word genocide should have no meaning? Did I miss the memo?
I really don’t mean to diminish the human tragedy unfolding in Gaza but it’s just obviously not a concerted act of one people to eradicate through indiscriminate violence an entire other people.

At least 1,400 innocent Israeli civilians were killed deliberately in Hamas’s terrorist attack last week.

That is more than the number of people who have been killed in every single mass shooting in the United States combined since 1982.

So think of every mass shooting you can remember and every bit of anger and grief and frustration that you felt for all of those combined, and imagine them happening on the same day.

And now multiply that by 30 since the US is considerably larger than Israel.
And then imagine that within hours people were like “get over it, bitch”
